Marriage record

[jaamac]

I have searched high and low for the marriage record of Neil Galbraith b. 1855 and Mary McCallum b. 1863. Their first child was born around 1885 so I assume the marriage was about then, their son Hugh, born 1891, has them listed as his parents on his marriage certificate, which is how I know her surname. I have tried through ancestry, Scotland's people and Family Search. Help appreciated.

Thanks, Sandra, I see the spelling of the wife's name was different, just that little difference prevented me finding it on Scotland's People, even using Fuzzy Matching of Name Variants. I can now move forward. Thank you for your help.
I had the census info, thanks

The best way is to use wildcards - m*c*l*m will find most McCallums and variants.
